Poker Tips for the Week
The Art of Continuation Betting (C-Betting) in Poker
According to MasterClass, Continuation Betting is one of the most important components of the game. Learning when and how to C-bet will make you a more unexploitable and profitable player.
Key Takeaways:
- C-bet when the board favors your range. If you raised preflop and the flop comes A♠ K♦ 7♣, a continuation bet makes sense because your range connects better with this board than the preflop caller’s range.
- Stack Depths are one of the most important factors when considering a c-bet. When stacks are deeper, you can c-bet larger. When stacks are shallower, you should size down.
- Use different bet sizes. A smaller C-bet (30-40% pot) works well on dry boards, while a larger C-bet (60-75% pot) makes sense on wet, draw-heavy boards.
Conclusion:
C-betting is one of the best ways to keep pressure on your opponents—but don’t be predictable! Adjust based on the board and your opponent’s tendencies.

Health and Nutrition
Maintain Proper Posture
- Use an ergonomic chair with lumbar support.
- Keep your feet flat on the floor and screen at eye level.
- Maintain a neutral wrist position to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome.
Good posture prevents long-term injuries and keeps you comfortable during extended poker sessions, allowing for better focus and decision-making.

It’s been a very successful week at The Venetian Poker Room! I made the final table of the $600/$40,000 guarantee one day tournament! There were 130 players and I finished in 5th place around $4,200. I’ve really been enjoying playing over at the Venetian. They have a new poker room that is awesome! It was a good warm up since tomorrow begins the WSOP circuit events at Horseshoe Casino! Follow along on my YouTube channel! Good luck on the felt!
